Another great mix of old and new, Matt! Love the new David Bowie, always a thrill to hear the ‘Mats, and had forgotten what a gem Transistor’s “Everywhere That I’m Not” is–that had me searching for my “Just Say New Wave” CD after the show! Many thanks and keep it up!
Ever notice the frequency of reviews of new LPs/bands where the reviewer cites XTC as an influence? … a band which should have been absolutely massive…
Uh, that would actually be TRANSLATOR’S “Everywhere That I’m Not”! :0
